Adjusted Operating Income (“OI”) ($ in millions) * Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes adjustments for termination costs to prior distributors and for professional service fees, net of insurance reimbursements, associated with the review of stock option grants and granting practices, related litigation and other related matters. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We include these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to our ongoing operations. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the table below.
